Alexander Young

How does the well-brought-up son of a Scottish immigrant and locally-born school teacher veer so decidedly from the path of a promising hockey career to choose a life of crime? Alexander Young tells us in his own words how he stays in game shape and is invited to sign with semi-pro teams in British Columbia and Alberta. But his optimum physical condition also enables him to climb onto roofs in the dark of night and drop silently onto the floors of corporate offices and retail outlets. Alex has wander-lust - or maybe he's on the move in order to keep the heat off. At first, he's driven by hockey. But later he's just driven. From the first time he hops a bus in his hometown of Drumheller until he's transported by the RCMP to various institutions, he plays hockey, breaks and enters, and commits armed robbery. Along the way he seduces beautiful women, never quite being able to settle down with any of them. Drinking and getting high on cocaine and heroin, Alex makes friends with criminals, both on the street and on the inside. He presents us with a glimpse of the culture that finally leads him to commit his most serious crime - murder.
